Kabzeel (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />קַבְצְאֵל, Trans: Qabtsĕ'el,[2] "God gathers") is a Hebrew Bible place name. It was the most remote city of Judah; located in southern Judah on the border of Edom (Idumaea) (Joshua 15:21). The location is tentatively identified with Khirbet Hora[3] (Horvat Hur), about 10 km (6 mi) ENE of Beer-sheba.[1] Kabzeel was the birthplace of Benaiah, one of David's chief warriors (2 Sam. 23:20; I Chr. 11:22).[4] Following the Exile, it was resettled under the name Jekabzeel (Nehemiah 11:25).[5]
